How bad is a 23 ACT with a 3.1w GPA for an AA/NA applicant from Ohio?

<p>As said in the title, I am Native American and African American (and Asian but I am not putting that on the app). I have a 3.1w GPA and 23 ACT, and I want to major in Economic/Management Information Systems (IT for business). I am from Ohio!</p>

<p>Schools applied to:</p>

<p>Miami University (OH): EA-First Choice!!
Rutgers University- New Brunswick: EA
North Carolina State University: EA
Arizona State University: EA
Northeastern University: RD
University of Central Florida: Roll
Ohio State University: EA
University of North Carolina-Charlotte: EA
Indiana University-Bloomington: EA
Ohio University: EA</p>

<p>All ECs, Recs, and Essays are Great!</p>

<p>If ECs, recs, and essays are great then u might have a slight chance. But i feel like your ACT and GPA are way too low for rutgers and northeastern. Although your race might help, your numbers might hurt you quite a bit</p>

<p>Do you have sufficient funds to pay if you’re admitted (that’s about $40,000 per year) since OOS public universities don’t have financial aid (and no merit for your stats)?</p>

<p>Note that most universities use unweighted GPA.</p>

<p>Academically:
Miami University (OH): reach
Rutgers University- New Brunswick: reach
North Carolina State University: reach
Arizona State University: match
Northeastern University: high reach (very unlikely)
University of Central Florida: reach - in Florida, your weighted GPA is used, and you’d qualify for Floida Gulf Coast as well as UWF.
Ohio State University: reach
University of North Carolina-Charlotte: match
Indiana University-Bloomington: match
Ohio University: match</p>

<p>You don’t have any safety (unless you didn’t list them) - those would be 2 colleges where you’re sure to get in, that you like, and that you can afford.
Note that most large public universities are not holistic, so that recommendations and essays have almost no weight compared to GPA X ACT. I would suggest you apply to at least one college with holistic admissions (Wittenberg, Capital, Gannon, Lesley, Guilford, Emory&Henry, UTampa, perhaps evenSusquehanna, Hendrix or Earlham but those would be matches more than safeties) so that your full profile could be taken into account.</p>
